Re: New Sailor Moon Anime

Isn't that just an ending from the old show?

Anime is a lot like sex. Done right it's a beautiful act of creation that brings a little more light into the world. If it's sick and wrong... it's even better.

Re: New Sailor Moon Anime

and that's a valid point and critique, it's a different thing to "not" like something and different to compare its quality with the old one, the old one is was way too low budget, this one don't not experience this problem so in quality is better than the original, that doesn't of course tell anything about its aesthetics

Re: New Sailor Moon Anime

if we put aside the fact that it was NOT worldwide available but only in selected few, which took all the excitement away in seconds, the first episode was brilliant, good animation, great voice acting and in fast track, next ep. mercury will appear just like in the manga no episodes between Usagi's first transformation and meeting with Ami.
Music was badass, though I do personally prefer the jazzy feeling of Arisawa Takanori's music, but he is not walking the earth anymore so no more of his brilliance.
Tux boy was really handsome as well, and all in all it had all the things we love about sailor moon.
Very pleased!

Re: New Sailor Moon Anime

I *LOVED* The first new episode. It followed the first storyline in the manga almost exactly~! Though like Ωmega, I did not favor the CG transforming sequence...Other then that it was better then I could have hoped for!

Re: New Sailor Moon Anime

I enjoy that we get an adaptation faithful to the manga (in context to the Queen Beryl arc). I heard Takeuchi-sensei gave the staff scripts and drawings of materials she originally wanted in the manga but her publisher didn't approve of them.

But I really don't like the new voice cast. Mamoru's new voice actor tries to forcibly sound nasal in the way that Furuya Tooru naturally talks and Luna's new voice lacks this distinct pitch in her voice that Han Keiko brought to the original performance. If Furuya Tooru and Han Keiko can still play Amuro and Lalah in the original Gundam, then they can sure as hell still play Tuxedo Mask and Luna/Queen Beryl. Other than that, I am glad that Kotono Mitsuishi is back. I know that Sailor Mars' seiyuu retired way back. I am also a big fan of Hayakawa Aya which is why I am sad she is not back as Sailor Mercury.

Re: New Sailor Moon Anime

Am I the only one who finds the new artwork a bit... scary?
